Chapter 628 The Peace Rope is Broken (2)_1
"Jiaojiao, your auntie doesn’t want any candy. What can you give her instead?" After handing over the gift money, Shu Wen teased Ruan Jiaojiao with a smile.
Ruan Jiaojiao immediately gestured for her to come closer, and as soon as Shu Wen leaned in, Ruan Jiaojiao gave her two big kisses. Zhao Li, who was watching, immediately ran over, "Jiaojiao, hurry, give your godmother some too."
Ruan Jiaojiao, smiling, gave Zhao Li two kisses as well, and the three of them played around joyfully.
The last to give gift money was the Yuan Family. Old Lady Yuan arrived, and so did her four sons. Yuan Xiaodong and his grandfather were there, too—each household gave two hundred.
After the feast, the Ruan Family made almost twenty thousand just from gift money.
If anyone had been covertly watching the Ruan Family with envy and thoughts of doing harm before, now all they could feel was envy and dread. The greater the gap, the more impossible it became to bridge, and envy could only turn to admiration. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn’t dare.
Ruan Jiaojiao always took a nap at noon. After helping to distribute the candy, she was extremely sleepy. Since it was still too noisy and crowded downstairs, she could only walk upstairs groggily, intending to cuddle with Xiaobai in her room and sleep.
She was walking along the handrail, too sleepy and her mind a blur, rubbing her eyes non-stop and paying no attention to her surroundings. She only sensed that there seemed to be an argument nearby, a wave of shouting after another, making her already dazed mind even more buzzing.
By the time she caught a glimpse of an emerald green glass bottle being smashed toward the third step in front of her out of the corner of her eye, it was too late to dodge; all she could do was instinctively raise her hand to shield her face.
